The death of a subordinate in Ning Xuan's Mansion has never been a matter of great importance.

Compared with those, what is rumored in the house is that the prince attaches great importance to the side concubine Qian's fetus, not only mentioning the share of the monthly silver in the Qian family's courtyard, but also comparing the food and clothing to the princess's specifications, and even the third young master Rong Yuan, the prince also made an exception to buy a real estate for him.

Everyone in the family knows that Rong Mingyu is extremely fond of his unborn child.

This is actually very undesirable, Rong Tang and Rong Mingyu have known each other for several lifetimes, except for about Wang Xiuyu, he occasionally confronts his titular father a few times, and most of the time he observes Rong Mingyu as a politician - the only prince with a different surname in the Dayu Dynasty.

The results of the observation are very accurate with the positioning of Rong Mingyu in the original book: Emperor Renshou kept at his feet, a dog that could not bark.

His city is unfathomable, but he is loyal to the emperor. Parents are short and children are long, for Rong Mingyu, it is far less important than a place under his feet above the court, except for the eldest princess Duanyi, he basically does not pay attention to his family.

A child who has not yet been born, why does he love him so much?

Rong Tang couldn't figure it out, just like he didn't understand why Rong Mingyu was so sure that the baby in Qian's womb must be a boy.

But it has nothing to do with him, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, the north wind in Beijing is cold, Rong Tang is lazy, unwilling to move, at most when the weather is fine during the day, go to the princess's courtyard with Su Huaijing to talk and help, so that she can do less chores.

In the end, the Qian family still had their eyes on the red Luo charcoal in Tanghua Courtyard, Rong Tang went to the princess's courtyard one afternoon, and happened to hear Si Mo, the maid next to Rong Mingyu, come over and tell him that the red Luo charcoal used by the eldest young master this winter will be prepared for the side concubine.

Rong Tang was displeased, and was about to go out to question, but Su Huaijing pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to be impatient.

When the other party finished speaking, Su Huaijing pushed open the door, walked over slowly, and said embarrassedly: "The prince feels sorry for his aunt, and he is afraid that he will freeze her in winter, so it is understandable to want to add some charcoal." It's just that this year's floods have flooded a lot of charcoal-producing areas, and the red Luo charcoal to be used in the courtyard of the prince is still at a high price from the end of summer, and it took two months to prepare for these to be recovered, and the amount is less than half of that of previous years. ”

Si Mo was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't thought that when she said these words, Su Huaijing and Rong Tang would be present, she bent down slightly, and first saluted the prince and the princess, and then said: "The meaning of the prince is to let the young master allocate half of it for the aunt." ”

She also seemed to think that this was outrageous, her voice was much softer, a layer of entanglement appeared on her face, and her eyes did not dare to look at Su Huaijing.

Su Huaijing turned his back to Rong Tang, his expression was slightly cold, but there was still a smile in his words: "I'm afraid not, the prince has had two serious illnesses this year, and now is the time to take care of it. ”

Si Mo frowned in confusion and looked at Su Huaijing: "Please also ask Lang Jun to have an idea." ”

Su Huaijing smiled lightly: "Aunt Qian is pregnant, and she really can't freeze; But the charcoal fire used in the daily life of Tangtang can not be reduced at all. Red Luo charcoal is in demand, and now I am in a hurry to find it, not to mention that I can't find it, and the price is even more high, quite

Not cost-effective. ”

Si Mo nodded: "Lang Jun is right. ”

Su Huaijing: "But it just so happens that I have a friend whose family is doing business in the south, and every year he saves a batch of good black charcoal for emergencies. Although it is not as rich as Hongluo charcoal, it is much better than the Yangzhi charcoal used by ordinary people, and if my aunt wants to use charcoal, she can go to him to buy some. ”

Si Mo thought for a moment: "But ...... the price?" ”

Su Huaijing smiled: "I have a good relationship with that friend, and I don't think it will be too expensive, and my aunt's monthly silver will be taken out every month, which is enough to spend a warm winter." Even if she thinks about the fetus in her womb, she will definitely not be reluctant to give up this little thing outside her body, sister, what do you say? ”

He was natural and casual from beginning to end, decisively refused and gave a solution, and finally smiled and threw out a question, Simo stood in place and thought for a long time, Ying Ying bowed: "Lang Jun is reasonable, I will go back and report to the concubine." ”

She turned sideways again, saluted Rong Tang, and then left.

Su Huaijing turned around and walked back into the house with a smile.

Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously: "How can you have friends who have charcoal at home?" ”

Su Huaijing asked rhetorically: "Isn't Young Master Ke your friend to me?" ”

Rong Tang: "......?" ”

When Ke Hongxue heard this while sitting in the private room of the gilded building, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and a white porcelain wine glass dangled in her hand, and the wine was almost spilled.

He turned his head and asked Rong Tang: "Lord Shizi, how much do you think it is appropriate for me to sell her this charcoal?" ”

Rong Tang didn't really want to deal with him, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand and raised his index finger.

Ke Hongxue raised her eyebrows: "What does this mean?" ”

Rong Tang is very serious: "Divide me into one." ”

Ke Hongxue was stunned: "? ”

Rong Tang: "This business was brought over to you by my family Huaijing, I don't care how much you sell her, I will share the profits." ”

There were five people sitting in the private room, Lu Jiaxi had just been on duty, he was so hungry that he couldn't do it, and he was focused on eating.

When Mu Jingxu heard Rong Tang's words, he paused for two seconds and laughed softly.

Ke Hongxueyuan still wanted to have a fight with Rong Tang, but when he saw this, he didn't say a word, and compared him with a "two" in an atmospheric manner.

Rong Tang was slightly stunned, Ke Hongxue said: "Twenty percent, I'll give you two percent of the commission." ”

Rong Tang: "......"

He looked at Ke Hongxue, and slowly turned his gaze to Mu Jingxu.

After a while, Rong Xiaoshizi rolled his eyes from the bottom of his heart: "Out."

Cease. ”

Ke Hongxue grinned, didn't even have the idea of refutation, and was very diligent on the side to serve soup to his senior brother.

On the bank of the Jinfen River, the blades of grass were frosted, and Rong Tang sat in the private room of the gilded building, listening to them talk about some stories casually.

Lu Jiaxi made meritorious contributions to disaster relief, and after returning to Beijing, he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and followed one of the four divisions and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Wailang to learn about memorial matters, and now he is really a Master Lu.

Rong Tang bargained with Ke Hongxue, he was half full, and as soon as he put down the dishes and chopsticks, he saw that the eyes of four people at a table fell on him.

Ke Hongxue asked him with a smile: "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Xiao Lu was not embarrassed, and smiled: "It's almost." ”

Ke Hongxue didn't believe him and called

Xiao Er added a few more dishes, and said casually: "The princess just negotiated a big deal for me, don't worry, I have a treat tonight and eat openly." ”

Rong Tang felt that this person was really owed.

He didn't bother to look at him, so he stuck to Su Huaijing, and the latter naturally took his hand and squeezed it slowly.

Rong Tang was occasionally pinched by him a little uncomfortable, and wanted to pull back, Su Huaijing blinked and looked at him aggrievedly, Tang Tang immediately relented, and quietly motionless for him to rub.

Su Huaijing's smile was hidden in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't stop slipping out, Mu Jingxu looked at him like this, and he was unconsciously much more relaxed and happy.

He had also thought about what Xiao Qi would be like when he grew up, probably similar to himself, chic and graceful, and playing horse Zhangtai.

Maybe it's like the prince's brother, dignified and majestic, not angry and arrogant.

There is no side like this, it is clear that he is already a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but he will still be coquettish and careful in front of Rong Tang.

Mu Jingxu sometimes sees the two of them getting along, and he thinks that Su Huaijing is still the carefree little prince who has been raised in the Dayu Palace for many years.

That's good, at least there's nothing wrong with people.

Until Ke Hongxue asked Lu Jiaxi as if greeting: "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

Lord Xiao Lu frowned and said, "The New Year is approaching, and Lord Yuanwailang is mainly busy with some things about the New Year's ancestor worship and banquets. ”

"What about you?" Ke Hongxue asked again.

Lu Jiaxi: "I'm picking a house for His Royal Highness Five." ”

Rong Tang stiffened, and suddenly looked up at Lu Jiaxi.

Su Huaijing was the closest to him, keenly aware of the changes in Rong Tang's expression and body, and instinctively disliked it.

He always felt that Tang Tang paid too much attention to Sheng Chengli.

He didn't like it very much.

Su Huaijing unconsciously withdrew his hand, and clenched him tighter, but Rong Tang seemed to be unaware at all, and asked, "Can you decide on the mansion?" ”

Lu Jiaxi shook his head: "I started picking at the beginning of autumn, and I drafted several positions back and forth and handed them up, but they were all rejected by Lord Shilang." ”

As he spoke, he paused, raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Tang's expression.

Rong Mingli, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is Rong Tang's second uncle.

But Rong Tang didn't react, only asked, "And then?" ”

Lu Jiaxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "In the end, three mansions were decided, and the ministry just presented them to Lord Shilang two days ago, I don't know if I have told Your Majesty." ”

"Yesterday morning, the court reported it, and now I think it has been decided." Mu Jingxu said softly.

He was standing on the Jinluan Hall at that time, so he naturally knew who had reported which folds.

It's just that such a trivial matter as choosing a mansion for the prince does not need to be discussed publicly in the court, and it is because Rong Mingli only handed over the fold and did not read it out in the court.

Mu Jingxu looked at Rong Tang and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Rong Tang shook his head, knowing in his heart that he had just lost his temper, he stepped back, Su Huaijing was right next to him, and Rong Tang almost arched into his arms as soon as he retreated.

Su Huaijing was in a better mood.

Rong Tang whispered: "I don't like him, so I don't want him to live in a good house." ”

is extremely naïve, but people can't find the point of suspicion, Rao is Mu Jingxu, he was stunned.

Lu Jiaxi nodded thoughtfully: "It's really not a good house, and there is a set of them, and the budget allocated by the household department may not be enough to repair it." ”

Su Huaijing asked, "Where is that?" ”

Rong Tang lowered his head uncomfortably, looked at the wooden floor under his feet, didn't know what he was thinking for a while, and inexplicably didn't dare to look at Su Huaijing's eyes.

Lu Jiaxi: "Xuanwu Avenue, Xianguo Mansion first." ”

There was an instant silence in the room, Rong Tang's heart was stunned, Su Huaijing lowered his head, looked at the hairband on his head, gently picked it up and wrapped it around his hand a few times, as if he didn't care: "That house." ”

Mu Jingxu's brows furrowed, and there was a rare anger on his body.

Lo sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, but he had no idea what was going on.

Until there was a noise outside the gilded building, and there was a constant sound of trotting outside the building.

Su Huaijing laughed softly, his chin slightly raised.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate." He said.

Outside the building, the blazing fire light came from a very far away, reaching the sky, with a devastating momentum, almost lighting up the entire Yujing City.

Su Huaijing lowered his head and looked at Rong Tang, his lips were smiling, but there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Tang Tang, it seems that the house doesn't like him either."

Tang Tang, it seems that you really hide a lot of things from me.!
